Lady Madeline and Prince York

The saddest kingdoms come from parents
who make their path by crushing everything,
next to discover their own kids in their way.
Maybe Lady Madeline never had a chance,
carrying anger and addiction in her bouquet.
Prince York, her brother survived, maybe
mostly, by first forgiving his father, a feat
the townsfolk compared to stopping tides.
She'd be mad upon the heather without him,
just as she cursed him every time he helped….
castle, carriage, servants, healers, food….
Everyone agreed no statue could be built
to show how big love is, how brave it can be.
So they named the mountain range after him.
